In a report on Friday's NBC Today about how people could defend themselves during a convenience store robbery, National Investigative Correspondent Jeff Rossen and security expert Mykel Hawke suggested that shoppers should hurl groceries off the shelves at the armed criminals in an attempt to escape. The possibility of using a firearm for protection was never mentioned.
Introducing the segment, fill-in co-host Hoda Kotb warned: "This summer there's been a rash of violent convenience store robberies across the country with customers caught in the middle." Fellow co-host Matt Lauer followed: "So how do you protect yourself if you're ever faced with a situation like that?" ...
Well, as for me, I will pull my .45 semi-automatic and commence to taking target practice on the dumb bastard. Then, I'll reach for the groceries - a cold beer would be nice, while you're waiting on the cops to show up and clean up the mess.
